The image shows the expression:

\[
\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}
\]

We need to simplify this expression and provide the answer as a whole number, fraction, or mixed number.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD):**

   The denominators in the fractions are 3, 2, and 4. The least common multiple of these numbers is 12. Thus, the LCD is 12.

2. **Convert each fraction to have the LCD as the new denominator:**

   - For \(\frac{2}{3}\):  
     \[
     \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{8}{12}
     \]
   - For \(\frac{1}{2}\):  
     \[
     \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 6}{2 \times 6} = \frac{6}{12}
     \]
   - For \(\frac{1}{4}\):  
     \[
     \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 3}

2/3 + 1/2 + 1/4. Simplify your answer. Type as a whole number, fraction, or mixed number.
